Nut Case 1 Traditional Cache
Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions

This is a nano in the forest. Bring your own pen. The cache is hanging on a tree branch about 5 feet above the ground, in plain sight. It will be easiest to find by the first 3 finders because of the great prizes for FTF, 2TF and 3TF --- the prizes were too big to fit inside the nano, so they are draped outside of it. I parked at the junction of Pritchard Rd and the Mayook/Baker FSR and from there it was an easy 5 minute walk to GZ.
The nano is inside the Nut Case and is intended to be the FTF prize (the 2TF and 3TF prizes are obvious). But be warned, this is a tough nut to crack, although it takes almost no force if done properly. I consider myself pretty mechanically minded, but it still took me about 20 minutes to open on my first attempt, so find somewhere to sit and get comfortable.
If you are the FTF cacher, you have several options what to do with the Nut Case: you may keep it, you may take one of the other prizes and leave the Nut Case for the next cacher (but please restore the cache to its original state if you choose this option), OR (and this is what I'm hoping) you can take the Nut Case and use it to place "Nut Case 2" somewhere in the Cranbrook area so that others can experience the pleasure of this mind bender!
Congratulations to ekroamer, maxonthehunt, and chet&jane for their quick finds --- I wish I had been there to witness the frenzy!
I have adjusted the difficulty level of this cache now that it is just a nano in the forest. Have fun, everyone!
